ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, A STRONG GUST OF WIND LIFTED THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE LANDING AND POWER WAS APPLIED FOR A GO-AROUND. ANOTHER GUST OF WIND FORCED THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RUNWAY INTO THE DIRT NEXT TO THE RUNWAY. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY, THE RIGHT WING AND NOSE CONTACTED THE GROUND AND THE AIRCRAFT TURNED 180 DEGREES. THE PILOT REPORTED NO MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE AIRCRAFT.
